Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2019 Jan 17;21(3):1059-1066. doi: 10.1039/c8cp05699d.

Abstract

Using density functional theory, we investigated the vibrational properties and Raman spectra of pristine blue phosphorene and fluorinated blue phosphorene. The fluorinated blue phosphorene possesses a Dirac cone at the K point (about 310 cm-1). The shape of the Dirac cone remains unchanged under different tensile strains. The Raman tensor and thus angle-dependent Raman intensities of all Raman active modes are calculated for the polarizations of scattered light parallel and perpendicular to that of the incident light. The characteristics of angle-dependent Raman intensities are discussed. Moreover, the polarization direction averaged non-resonant Raman spectra of pristine blue phosphorene and fluorinated blue phosphorene are compared with that of germanene and black phosphorene.
